Description

In this episode of Israel Insider, host Alex Selsky examines Israel’s deep concern over the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding, including its failure to address Iran’s ballistic missiles and regional proxies and its vague treatment of Tehran’s nuclear program. He considers whether President Trump is simply seeking quiet or pursuing a broader strategy involving China, Russia, energy routes, and the Strait of Hormuz.

Selsky examines Israel’s determination to continue operating in Lebanon, the possibility of Syrian involvement against Hezbollah, and why Israel’s exclusion from the agreement may leave it greater freedom to defend its interests.

The episode also covers Israel’s approaching elections, Netanyahu’s negotiations with the ultra-Orthodox parties, Gadi Eisenkot’s rise in the polls, Naftali Bennett’s decline, concerns about Turkey, and prospects for regime change in Tehran.
